It was a busy weekend from Oct. 24 to 26, 2025.

These days, I have teaching/tutoring as well as hockey commentary, and I also recently began work as an in-studio/on-camera games commentator in the gaming industry. (There were 11 of us being trained at the same time; on the first day we were asked to say why we wanted to work there, and my answer was succinct: “I would like to be on camera.”)

My in-studio work is all overnight shifts, eight hours daily ending at 7am.

So, the weekend of Oct. 24 to 26 presented an interesting schedule.

I had a 3-5pm in-person tutoring session on Friday the 24th. Then I returned home to sleep for a few hours before commuting to my overnight in-studio/on-camera commentating work. That finished at 7am, and I returned home to sleep for a few more hours before heading to the hockey rink at 1:30pm. It was a doubleheader slate but I stayed only for the first game and left after that contest (around 5pm) due to some family emergency. Then I returned to the in-studio overnight job and again that finished at 7am.

Next, I returned home and then commuted to the hockey rink at 8am for another doubleheader. I stayed for both games this time. The second game ended around 2pm, and then it was returning home again for some much-needed rest. (Note: It wasn’t easy; it was talking non-stop for the in-studio commentator job, and then the Saturday hockey game that I did play-by-play for, the opposition won 12-0. On Sunday, the early game ended 19-0 for the opposition. So, none of that was easy.)

The weekend of Oct. 31-Nov. 2 will present a similar challenge. I’ll be back to post about it!
